Shemini Atzeret has been around a long time. In fact, Shemini Atzeret has been around almost - but not quite - as long as the Hebrews - now a remnant known as the Jewish people - have existed.
Despite having existed since the time the Torah was given to the Hebrews at Mount Sinai, Shemini Atzeret has few rituals attached to it, and the time of year when it takes place as well as its close proximity to the third and final festival of the year gave it a theme that reflected the time of year in Israel as well as the importance of water at that time of year in relation to the survival of the Hebrews/Jewish people.
